What to check before the MOT
Built from this model's own failure record, not general advice.
- Start with missing - it accounts for 100% of failed tests on this model.
- Then check too low and not working, the next two most common reasons.
- Age matters here: 87.73% of 3-5 year old examples pass, against 74.36% at 6-10 years - a gap of 13.4 points.
- The most common advisory is indicates excessive fluctuation of brake effort (1.5% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
- Average recorded mileage at test is 4,484 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.
